“Kaya has been excellent with our dogs. Always punctual and polite and our new puppy loves her despite generally being very nervous. Kaya has a gentle spirit, good energy as soon as you meet her.”
“Brad was terrific with our German Shepherd, Duke. They hit it off immediately and had alot of fun during our cruise. Brad sent us photographs and videos daily of Duke playing. Would recommend Brad to anyone looking for someone to look after their loved one. Will definitely be requesting him again for our future trips!!!”
About: I grew up with all sorts of pet friends: frogs, geckos, dogs, and cats. From a year long pet sitting gig to one of my regulars that has geese and ducks! Let me know how I can provide peace of mind to your family while you're away. My work from home position and my Wednesday-Sunday work schedule gives me a unique position that most others cannot provide. I am home bound for work during typical "social days" and love to have pets of all kinds as my coworkers! Everyone's needs are different. I personally have two indoor cats that I would never let out. But, I know others who have an outdoor cat they take on walks. Understanding that each pet has a different personality, routines, and temperament is the key to making sure everyone's needs are met.
“We had a good experience with Madisyn! The house was left spotless and communication throughout the stay was great — she sent updates, pictures and was easy to reach. Our one note is that she was out quite late one evening, which we weren't expecting. I'd recommend discussing schedules and expectations upfront, as she is a popular sitter with other jobs. I would still consider booking again, as we discussed that issue and she was very responsive. Thanks, Madisyn!”
About: I’m home Monday–Friday and available on weekends with advance notice. I live in Beachcrest, with a private trail to the beach and plenty of dog-friendly parks nearby. If your pet loves exploring, they’ll have plenty of opportunities for beach adventures, walks, and play! My home has a large deck and yard, though the yard is unfenced. Pets often enjoy sunbathing on the deck or checking out my fish ponds. I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for family, friends, and colleagues for as long as I can remember. I have experience with pet first aid, medication administration, and senior animals, and I’ll care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. My goal is to make your pet feel right at home. I'm very flexible so just message me and I can find a time to accommodate you. Whether it's early morning or late at night. I'll be there! Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and keeping pets comfortable in their normal routine. When I arrive, I like to have a little pow-wow with the pets and, yes, I sometimes have conversations with them. 😂 I’ll always make sure they have clean bowls, fresh food and water, and plenty of potty breaks, along with any walks, medications, or special care they need. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.
About: I had a wonderful Husky growing up, He was always bursting with energy and personality, eager to run, explore, and snuggle up next to me whenever the day ended. Having him around taught me responsibility, patience, and just how strong the bond between a person and a dog can be. After high school, I adopted a Rottweiler of my own. Raising him from a young age helped me understand training, structure, and daily care better. Soon after, my mom needed some help with her cat, so I welcomed him into my home. For a while, I had both a dog and a cat living together—learning to balance their different personalities, needs, and routines. Later, when my husband and I moved into our own place, we added another furry family member—a sweet Corgi who joined us about two years later. Each pet has brought something special into my life and has helped me grow as a caregiver. I’ve gained hands-on experience with both dogs and cats—from energetic working breeds to loyal guardians and independent, affectionate cats. Caring for them isn’t just about feeding and walks—it’s about building trust, comfort, and a little friendship along the way. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time with very flexible hours. I’m able to plan my schedule around visits, walks, and check-ins, whether they’re early mornings, midday, or evenings. Because I manage my own time, I can give pets consistent attention, unrushed care, and plenty of love throughout the week. I care for pets in my home and yours with the same level of love, patience, and attention I give my own. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and cozy environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I adhere strictly to their regular routines—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime habits—to ensure their security and comfort. In your home, I respect their space and maintain their familiar routine to minimize stress. I move at their pace, especially with shy or anxious pets, building trust through gentle interactions, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s energetic playtime or quiet cuddles, I prioritize making each pet feel safe, understood, and truly cared for.
About: I have loved caring for animals since I was about 10 years old! I used to walk my neighbors’ dogs and give them baths, which helped me gain experience caring for different dogs. I also have a Doberman that I raised from a puppy and helped become very well-behaved. Raising him has taught me patience, consistency, and how important it is to understand each dog’s personality and needs. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and the love I have for animals. I will treat your pets like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 🐾❤️ Writing I work part-time, usually no more than five hours a day for about three days a week, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I have school on Tuesdays from 12:40 to 3:30 p.m., but outside of those commitments, my schedule is pretty flexible. I can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, baths, and giving your pets lots of love and attention. I want to make sure your pets get the care they need while you're away! Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for pets. I always want animals to feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their environment. In a client's home, I would follow their instructions carefully, stick to the pet's normal routine, keep their space clean, and make sure they have fresh water, food, and plenty of attention. I would always be careful with doors, gates, and leashes to keep pets safe. I also understand that every animal is different, so I would take the time to learn their personality and needs. I would treat your home with respect and care for your pets as if they were my own!
“Alisha did an outstanding job caring for our fur baby! Alisha made sure she ate well, exercised regularly, and kept me informed with updates and pictures of our happy puppy! I highly recommend Alisha if you’re looking for someone to take excellent care of your pup too!”
“Ashley took time to get to know my dog and was more than accommodating to my meet my schedule. She stayed at my place and cared for my pet with love and much care.”
“My 4 dogs are my life. It's so scary to go away and find someone to truly care for them. Rachel was fantastic, send pictures everyday. I felt very comfortable her staying in my home. My dogs were fine when I came home and that means everything to me. Simply everything.”
“Thank you so much Sarah, for taking such great care of our boy, Axel, and our home. He appreciates all the love and extra attention! And, thanks for the daily photos and videos, warmed our hearts to see him having fun.”
“Samantha was great with our two girls. she was patient with our dog who takes longer to warm up to people and followed instructions well. She gave us updates as asked and sent photos.”
“Bee was great with my dog Asher. She was very gentle and patient with him and showed a lot of knowledge about dog behavior. Asher can be anxious with new people, but he quickly showed that he felt safe with her. I think Bee would be good with so many types of dogs because she was very attentive to what Asher needed and adapted her approach to fit his personality. I will definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember. Puppy’s to seniors with med regimens, physical problems or even just needed someone to care for them. I love animals I’ve dedicated almost my whole live to my baby’s & others. I assure you that your baby’s are in good hands. When your dog stays with me, we can guarantee - 3-4 potty breaks min. -trip to the dog park (depending on preference) -consistency with training and commands -open communication with photos/videos ** PLEASE NOTE -Meet and Greets are complimentary. Any additional meetings outside of booking are $10 per half hour I am currently a CNA working on studying to be a LPN. I currently work in memory care for seniors. I love my job because you never know what the days brings and I get to have a learning experience on the daily. I will strictly follow the instructions given to make you and your furry baby’s feel cared for and seen. I’ve had bad sitters and I’d never wish that upon anyone.
“Cely and Jordan took amazing care of Ruby and our house while we were out of the country for a week. We appreciated their regular communication through the app because we didn't have cell service, and when we got back Ruby was clearly comfortable with them and being her playful self. They also watered our yard to keep our plants alive and left the house tidy. We'd recommend them to anyone and would definitely work with them again!”
“I can't say enough about Samantha's great service to our 2 cats. I was leaving Moon for longest stretch ever and Samatha was so patient and understanding of my constant text messages both before and during the 4 days she cat-sat. Hedda is often shy and hides from cat sitters, but she was ready to greet Samantha each time she came. Samantha was so conscientious with our cats. She stayed much longer than expected to play with Moon, made good decisions when she couldn't reach me one time, and managed to keep him from getting outside (not easy!). I was impressed that she identified Moon's depression right away; and it helped me prepare for our homecoming. I look forward to using Samantha again.”
“Cathy was great with our dog! She gave daily updates with pictures and we came back to a happy dog and a well kept house. Super appreciative of Cathy - very responsible and communicative. Would definitely work with her again!”
“Mallory took great care of our dogs for a weekend while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures of them & responded quickly & took action when one of our dogs broke through the neighbors fence she was able to get them back quickly & even fixed our fence for us. We would recommend Mallory to anyone!”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bayshore walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bayshore maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bayshore choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bayshore. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
